2020 Honda CB500X

The 2020 Honda CB500X is a midsized adventure motorcycle ready to hit the backcountry fire roads or carve the daily commute. It is based around the same 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that powers the Rebel 500, CBR500R, and CB500F, but is built for adventure at an economical price point.

In 2019, Honda updated the CB500X with a dirt-minded 19-inch front wheel, longer-travel suspension, taller windscreen, and other bits to increase its off-road focus, while still encompassing worthy on-road merits. Thumbs-up, Honda.
